SUMMARY:Webinar: Appropriate PPE for Women in Agriculture
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Agriculture is a hazardous industry associated with many occupational injuries and diseases. Workers may be exposed to various types of occupational hazards simultaneously\, possibly increasing the risk of adverse health outcomes. Personal protective equipment (PPE) is critical for ensuring a safe working environment in agriculture. It is essential to utilize PPE that meets safety standards\, is appropriate for your work\, and is the proper fit. PPE is often designed with men in mind\, making adequate fit and function problematic for women in agriculture. \nThis training will address the different hazards in agricultural work and the appropriate PPE for women. Additionally\, this training will review how to conduct both a respirator fit test and a fit check (seal check) procedure. This presentation aims to guide the selection and effectiveness of PPE worn by women in the agricultural field. \nIntended Audience: Producers – This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers\, including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, poultry\, or other livestock. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor. It does not necessarily reflect the views or policies of the U.S. Department of Labor\, nor does mention of trade names\, commercial products\, or organizations imply endorsement by the U.S. Government. \n Watch Now  \n

SUMMARY:Webinar: ATV-UTV Safety for Women
DESCRIPTION:ATV-UTV Safety for Women\nSummary: Agriculture ranks among the most hazardous industries. Farmers are at very high risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries\, and farming is one of few industries in which family members (who often share the work and live on the premises) are also at risk for fatal and nonfatal injuries. ATVs and UTVs are found on all types of farms; they are useful for agricultural work\, but they also pose serious hazards to operators and passengers. Studies indicate that injured ATV/UTV passengers are more commonly female and youth and that helmet use is significantly lower for passengers. The focus of the training would be on ATV/UTV maintenance and safety features\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, load and weight considerations\, operation on public roadways\, as well as employee training and considerations for working alone. \nIntended Audience: Producers- This training is intended primarily for agricultural producers\, including but not limited to farmers\, ranchers\, and any person or persons involved in some combination of raising field crops\, orchards\, vineyards\, poultry\, or other livestock. \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

SUMMARY:Webinar: Anhydrous Ammonia Safety for Farmworkers
DESCRIPTION:Anhydrous Ammonia Safety for Farmworkers\nSummary: Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is an effective nitrogen crop fertilizer used throughout the Midwest and beyond.  Anhydrous ammonia is potentially dangerous\, as it seeks water from the nearest source\, which may be the human body – especially the eyes\, lungs\, and skin because of their high moisture content.  Few problems occur when anhydrous ammonia is handled properly and applied as intended.  However\, it is important for all individuals working with this type of fertilizer to understand the potential health risks\, necessary safety precautions\, and proper response in the event of exposure. \nPersonal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the last lines of defense for workers against Anhydrous Ammonia injuries. Women in all industries\, including agriculture\, have trouble finding and purchasing respiratory protective equipment that fits and is safe and comfortable to wear. The National Safety Council\, in a 2019 publication of Safety and Health\, reported OSHA documentation indicating the lack of a full range of PPE\, as well as employers’ limited knowledge of PPE designed for women\, as some of the reasons for the difficulty.  The focus of this training is on anhydrous ammonia safety during transport and application\, including the anatomy of the nurse tank and toolbar\, safety inspection processes\, hitching\, and unhitching safety\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, rural roadway safety\, and first aid/emergency procedures.  Hazard communication and emergency action plans will also be addressed. \nObjectives: At the conclusion of the program\, participants will be able to: \n\nIdentify the anatomy of a nurse tank and toolbar\nChoose appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)\nMake use of a safety inspection process\nDescribe safety measures to follow during anhydrous transport and application\nApply rural roadway safety measures\nDescribe hitching and unhitching safety\nPlan and utilize basic first aid/emergency procedures\nLocate hazard communication plan and emergency action plan resources\n\nIntended Audience: Farm/Ranch owners and operators\, health and safety professionals\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \n Watch the Recording Here

SUMMARY:NFSHW 2021: Zoonotic Disease and Pregnancy: A Deeper Dive
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Zoonotic Diseases are transmitted between farm animals and humans and can pose additional risks to those who are pregnant. Farmers and farmworkers have higher levels of risk for contracting zoonotic diseases because of the frequency of their exposure to animals. Understanding how the disease transmission process works\, building a team\, and effectively communicating within that team is essential in preventing the spread of zoonotic disease. Women working in agriculture should be aware of the following special considerations during pregnancy\, which animals are common carriers of zoonotic disease\, symptoms of the disease(s)\, prevention measures\, and pregnancy risks. \nIntended Audience: Supervisor or Managers: This training is intended primarily for health and safety professionals including but not limited to owner/operators\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns\, and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n1. Define zoonotic disease and identify various modes of transmission\n2. Identify a minimum of four significant zoonotic diseases affecting the production agricultural population\n3. Discuss warning signs and symptoms of major zoonotic diseases which have adverse effects on reproductive health\n4. Locate a minimum of three recommended educational resources for use in training an agricultural workforce \nPresenter: Knesha Rose-Davison\, MPH\, Public Health Program Director\, AgriSafe Network \n Watch the Recording Here \n  \nThis material was produced under grant number SH-05068-SH8 from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration\, U.S. Department of Labor.

SUMMARY:NFSHW 2021: Anhydrous Ammonia Safety for Farmworkers
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is an effective nitrogen crop fertilizer used throughout the Midwest and beyond.  Anhydrous ammonia is potentially dangerous\, as it seeks water from the nearest source\, which may be the human body – especially the eyes\, lungs\, and skin because of their high moisture content.  Few problems occur when anhydrous ammonia is handled properly and applied as intended.  However\, it is important for all individuals working with this type of fertilizer to understand the potential health risks\, necessary safety precautions\, and proper response in the event of exposure. \nPersonal protective equipment (PPE) is one of the last lines of defense for workers against Anhydrous Ammonia injuries. Women in all industries\, including agriculture\, have trouble finding and purchasing respiratory protective equipment that fits and is safe/comfortable to wear. The National Safety Council\, in a 2019 publication of Safety and Health\, reported OSHA documentation indicating the lack of a full range of PPE\, as well as\, employers’ limited knowledge of PPE designed for women – as some of the reasons for the difficulty.  The focus of the training is on anhydrous ammonia safety during transport and application\, including the anatomy of the nurse tank and toolbar\, safety inspection processes\, hitching\, and unhitching safety\, personal protective equipment (PPE)\, rural roadway safety\, and first aid/emergency procedures.  Hazard communication and emergency action plans will also be addressed. \nIntended Audience: Farm/Ranch owners and operators\, health and safety professionals\, safety officers or specialists\, managers\, supervisors\, safety coordinators\, health safety and environmental interns\, and any person or persons who serve as safety personnel in an agricultural setting. \nObjectives: At the end of this webinar\, participants will be able to…\n1. Choose appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE)\n2. Make use of a safety inspection process\n3. Describe safety measures to follow during anhydrous transport and application\n4.

SUMMARY:Farm and Ranch Health Threats After a Flood
DESCRIPTION:Summary: Disaster recovery can be as dangerous as the disaster itself\, especially if no disaster preparedness plan was implemented. This is especially true on farms and ranches where inherent farm hazards such as machinery and equipment\, livestock\, and agriculture chemicals are displaced and co-mingle\, putting all emergency response personnel\, farm workers and family members in danger. Floods can heighten the risk of health threats such as mold\, tetanus bacteria\, contaminated well water\, heat illness and high stress. This presentation will highlight basic precautions to prevent possible diseases and injuries during and after flooding. \nObjectives: At the end of the presentation\, attendees will be able to: \n\nIdentify common human health risks faced during a farm flood.\nDiscuss prevention tips and injury prevention for common human health risks.\nIdentify special considerations for working with livestock during a weather event.\nDiscuss steps involved in developing a disaster preparedness plan and how to safety active a response.\nDiscuss appropriate respiratory personal protective equipment needed during flood recovery.\nIdentify warning signs for behavioral and mental health during and after recovery.\n\nIntended Audience: All individuals living/working on farms and ranches affected by flooding. \n  \n\n\nRegistration Instructions: \n\n\n\nIf you don’t already have a profile with AgriSafe\, please set up a free account.
